Derek & The Dominos - Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out lyrics

rate me

Once, I lived the life of a millionaire

Spent all my money, I just did not care

Taking all my friend out for a good time

We bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low

I lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go

Never get my hand on a dollar again

I'm gonna hang on to it until the eagle grins

'Cause no, no, no, nobody knows you

When you're down and out

In your pocket [Incomprehensible], not one penny

And as for friends, you don't have any

When you finally get back upon your feet again

Here comes everybody sayin' they wanna be

A good old long-lost friend, [Incomprehensible] mighty strange

Nobody knows you when you're down and out

I said, when you finally get back on your feet

Everybody wants to be a good old long-lost friend

You know it's mighty strange, yeah, down and out

Nobody knows you, nobody knows you

Nobody, nobody knows you when you're down and out
